This is really a wonderful cd-player, it has a nice-sleek design. It also plays cdrw and has mp3 options as well. I also like that when you insert the cd (depending on your cd, cause not all of them do this) It shows each song title...pretty kewl.

Summary:
Replaced '99 Sonata OEM(DD) with this model because I wanted to play CDs. The CD sound is loud and clean. No need to replace the stock speakers to appreciate this JVC (for me atleast).

Pioneer (forgot the model) Alpine models of nowadays are very tempting: more power, clean CD sound quality and better FM reception.

Strengths:
motorized face 4 volt three rca aux and mp3 inputs two of them very expandable

Weaknesses:
too big of a remote I hate using it when it says good bye it says "see you" and doesn't finish the phrase that's about it

Summary:
This unit is very nice, I have to agree that the sound quality is about the best i've ever heard. I've own high end panasonic stereo's and this jvc runs with them with ease. I love the controls and how the face angles in three different positions. the equalizer is pretty sweet, it has over 7 selections plus three customizing ones. over all this cd player gives away more than I'll ever need. I'm glad to have it and it's worth every penny

Strengths:
sound quality features for the price

Summary:
This deck is probably the best you can buy for the money. The sound quality is hard to match, with many excellent features. eclipse stuff is nice, but priced way to high for what it is. Sound to noise ratio is fantastic, along with the 4 volt preouts. Custom EQ settings (control of center frequency, width, and boost/cut) is perfect for matching your music to your system. If you buy this, please, also buy some nice speakers (and maybe an amp too)- the sound quality doesn''t deserve to end with factory speakers. Motorized faceplate is absolutely mesmerizing. Aluminum deck... you might consider going with aluminum subs as well... maybe make everything match...
